Little Lisa is a blind kitten (beware: horrible photos)

Lisa, 3 months old (October 2018)

Lisa's mother

 









Lisa is born in July 2018, together with 4 other sisters/brothers. The mother was hiding them immediately after the birth and I didn't see them for about 6 weeks. It was very hot this year and I already thought they were dead. But after the staggering heat was over, mama cat brought out her new kids. It was clearly visible that this time there were lots of troubles, only one of them was fully healthy and all of the others had eye problems - especially Lisa.

The photos below show how she looked end of August/beginning of September.
I quickly found out that she was fully blind. And therefore never had enough food to eat. I started feeding her with food and water. When I visited the place to feed the other cats there, she always came to get her meal and I also realized that she liked to be caressed.

I grew fond of her and last week I decided that it was time to act. I brought her to the vet for a several-days stay and a make-over - successful as you can see in the photos above. Of course, she will remain blind.
I brought her then to my home and she quickly became a nearly normal kitten which is fond of playing with a ball. Still too small but already increased her weight by 20%.
And she likes to lie in my lap.

It was a good decision.

Addition: November 18

Much better now.

Lisa - as her mother - is difficult to photograph. So many colours but no real contrasts.

Her weight has increased from 750 g to 1600 g and she has become very active.
